Doing the fit up of the Harbor Freight 18K winch. So far so good. Mistakes were made, but nothing I can't fix. Long plate will get cut off. Wanted to maintain attack angle of front by placing winch higher. Wanted winch tucked in grill for better physics and appearance. Will add cooling intakes...

Hi Guys, Well the axles went in for balancing yesterday. Tiger Tool helped a lot. If you use one you must take the zerks out first. They get destroyed. I need to drop in the 3.07 gears. Just curious about using a gantry and chain hoist vs. engine hoist vs? I am putting in a locker at the time...

The photos speak for themselves. Fuzzy and faded looking lenses no more. Update the old school lights with new lens. $6-8 each.

FYI According to the owner of Unicat, based in Germany, the 6x6 is generally the preferred design. He went so far as to say that many 4x4 vehicles when fully loaded with the camper and supplies are over the weight design of the truck. If you have not seen these live videos, it is worth a look...

I have seen pictures of cracked bell housing, broken alternator brackets, cracked water pumps, and air compressors and gears damaged. In my case the interface of the compressor and power steering pump opened up due to a loose bolt. Those pesky driveshafts need balancing. It's not worth driving...

Be aware that these rubber female and male connectors can rotate inside the barrel of the rubber casing. In my case, the 20 degree rotation caused a strong short with melting of a pin. I would use a permanent marker of some sort to mark where the edge of the rubber and metal barrel should...

The difference in tightness in the steering with a new drag link is amazing. Mine has both ends that are replaceable. No more fear of getting too close to a rut or drop off on the side of a road. I see there are some never issued A2 ones on Ebay that need new boots. I'd be all over that if you...

For those of you doing FMTV/MTV Overlanding vehicles, I would suggest that you watch the Founder of Unicat's videos. Some very interesting info. revealed on the best way to build a vehicle. When he does these, they are typically live stream, so you can ask questions. English is not his first...

Just flushed my M1088 with Thoro-flush (2 pints). Amazing amount of scale and minerals came out. Gray clay-like stuff. Makes sense. It's been on the road since 1998. Follow flush directions very closely. Flush until no red dye present. Helpful customer support. Replacing all hoses. Most dated...

I think I recall someone made a pintle hitch guide. Connecting my truck to the pintle on a M1082 is a total pita. Anyone have the link?

Anyone give me some quick pointers on retracting the landing gear on an M1082? Thanks!

I am making a make shift hitch to move a M1082 (arrives this week) to move it around my yard with an F150. Anyone know the size of the lunette ring on the M1082?

I bypassed the pressure switch at the tank, and new sounds that I had never heard before occurred. Yay! It looked like only the front tires responded to the Sand command. Maybe a bad valve in the rear? I have heard of people turning up the pressure at the regulator to trigger the switch. Is...
